The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) was launched in 1991 by WHO and UNICEF to implement practices that protect, promote, and support breastfeeding globally. The aims of BFHI are to follow the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding and end free distribution of breast milk substitutes in healthcare facilities. The Ten Steps include having a written breastfeeding policy, training staff, informing pregnant women about benefits of breastfeeding, helping mothers initiate breastfeeding within 30 minutes of birth, and fostering breastfeeding support groups.
